A fast-moving, high-volume retail environment depends on equally rapid ERP support to keep the stock flowing and financial management under control.
IFS Retail takes the pain out of supply chain execution and logistics management—whether you have your own warehouses and distribution centers or whether you’re using a 3rd-party logistics provider (3PL).
The high street store is now matched by web-based outlets, operational all day, all year—they simply never close. Both are strategically important and absolutely critical to your success.
Success comes from knowing what ranges, sizes, colors, styles and mix are required for your stores for the next season and from driving the procurement process through receipt and allocation to stores.
